Chapter 1375: You

Tang Ye and Gao Qidong sat inside the car; it was the first time the two had been this close.

Although Tang Ye felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, he still appeared very composed, patiently and meticulously introducing the various situations of Yechuan County to Gao Qidong.

Through this conversation, Gao Qidong also gained a more in-depth understanding of Tang Ye.

He had to admit that this was a young cadre who possessed both talent and depth of substance.

Tang Ye's understanding of Yechuan was very detailed; from the overall planning of the county territory to the local human history, he had profound and unique insights.

Gao Qidong specifically invited Tang Ye to ride in the same car as him, actually wanting to use the cramped space inside the vehicle to exert psychological pressure on him and test his mettle.

But Tang Ye did not care at all; such a relaxed and indifferent state was absolutely rare among his peers.

The research began with the construction progress of the Gaozhi Building; after Gao Qidong inspected it on-site, he provided several guiding opinions.

Subsequently, the motorcade headed to the townships for research.

To prevent the townships from being prepared, Gao Qidong deliberately disrupted the order on the itinerary and went directly to the last stop, Chenxin Town.

This choice of location made Tang Ye somewhat surprised.

Because Chenxin Town was precisely the typical case that had been reported by the county as a negative example due to data fabrication previously.

Gao Guangquan received the call and was shocked.

Because he had not expected that Mayor Gao would come to Chenxin Town for research.

He hurriedly gathered his staff to prepare for the reception work.

Gao Qidong walked into the conference room, sat down in front of the name card, and glanced at Gao Guangquan indifferently, "I came for research this time to see the actual situation in Yechuan. You tell everyone about the basic situation of Chenxin Town. Afterward, I will ask a few questions."

Gao Guangquan was in close contact with the Mayor for the first time, so it was inevitable that he was a bit nervous.

"First of all, a warm welcome to Mayor Gao and all the City Leaders for coming to Chenxin Town to guide our work.

Below, please allow me to give a brief introduction to the basic situation of Chenxin Town..."

Gao Qidong listened patiently for a while, then suddenly frowned, interrupted his words, and asked,

"I have done some research; why is the data for Chenxin Town different from what I understand? Isn't your town's various data from last year ranked at the forefront of Yechuan County?"

Gao Guangquan smiled awkwardly, "Mayor Gao, I am afraid this situation needs County Magistrate Tang to explain to you."

Gao Qidong pretended to be confused and turned his head, his gaze falling on Tang Ye, waiting for him to explain.

Tang Ye had already confirmed his previous guess in his heart.

Gao Qidong's trip this time was aimed at "economic indicator data fabrication."

"Mayor Gao, I must explain to you.

Two weeks ago, the Provincial Government inspection team came to Yechuan County for research. In order to provide them with the most authentic data, our county went through an assessment and re-examined the data, finally discovering that many townships had instances of false data.

Regarding this, we have taken corresponding punitive measures.

The data reported to you today is all the most authentic data at present."

Gao Qidong's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, the data previously reported by Yechuan County was inaccurate?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very large gap!"

Gao Qidong said with a serious expression, "I originally thought that Yechuan County's development momentum was very good this year and could move from the middle to the forefront, but the result is very disappointing. Comrade Tang Ye, such a serious problem as reporting false or lying data, Yechuan County must have someone stand up and take responsibility."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "As the County Magistrate, I bear the primary responsibility."

Gao Qidong slowly stood up and coldly swept a glance at Tang Ye, "Go to the next township!"

Gao Guangquan saw off the group from the city.

He hated Tang Ye because Tang Ye's actions completely ruined his plan to return to work in the county seat;

But at the same time, he could not help but admire Tang Ye.

He admired the unyielding and courageous spirit he showed when facing Mayor Gao's questioning.

After getting back in the car, Gao Qidong became silent.

The atmosphere inside the car became colder.

For the next few townships, the situation was roughly the same.

The top leaders all used the new data when reporting.

Although Gao Qidong appeared very serious, he was still a bit surprised inside.

Because Tang Ye had achieved seeking truth from facts.

This method of advancing by retreating was indeed the most appropriate choice.

The research on the last township ended.

Walking out of the conference room,

Gao Qidong began to mock and satirize Tang Ye,

"Comrade Tang Ye, I had high expectations for this research trip to Yechuan County, but I didn't expect to be doused with cold water. The so-called progress of Yechuan County turned out to be a fake illusion designed."

Tang Ye said softly, "Mayor Gao, the progress of Yechuan County is obvious to all. The previously reported data had problems due to historical reasons. However, please rest assured, today's data is absolutely authentic, can withstand inspection, and is well-founded."

Gao Qidong criticized severely, "The data is authentic now, but the economic growth trend of Yechuan County has decreased instead of increasing, and ranking second has become a joke."

Tang Ye remained calm, "Mayor Gao, I believe that authentic data is more important. Falsehoods only create illusions. We must face our shortcomings squarely so that we can have an accurate positioning of ourselves."

Gao Qidong said coldly, "I am very dissatisfied with the results of this research. You must write a situation report."

Tang Ye was also helpless, "Please rest assured, Mayor Gao, I will explain the matter clearly."

Gao Qidong sneered, his tone full of warning: "You had better be mentally prepared; I am afraid it will be hard to avoid giving you a disciplinary action this time."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, "Everything will be handled according to Mayor Gao's arrangements. I have no objections."

Gao Qidong's intentions toward him were too obvious, weren't they!

Was this an attempt to give him a disciplinary action from the government level and suppress him?

Of course, this situation was actually already within Tang Ye's expectations.

In order to let the Provincial Government Inspection Team obtain the most authentic and first-hand data, and for the long-term development of Yechuan County, he felt it would be fine even if he received a disciplinary action!

Because everything he did was for the development of Yechuan!

In the eyes of Gao Qidong, Tang Ye was simply a political achievement fanatic.

In order to chase political achievements and climb upward, he could spare no cost.

The data fabrication in Yechuan County exactly confirmed his conclusion.

Tang Ye was nothing more than a person who fished for fame and compliments.

All of his political achievements had elements of fabrication.

Of course.

There was also another possibility.

If the townships were still using the false data previously reported to the city.

Gao Qidong would expose it without mercy, and then Tang Ye would be even more passive.

Gao Qidong said to Tang Ye in an icy tone, "We are going directly to the county. Comrade Tang Ye, you do not need to ride in my car."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Very well, Mayor Gao, I wish you a smooth journey."

Gao Qidong did not answer; he pulled open the car door, sat inside, and ordered the driver, "Let's go!"

The car slowly started, with the window half-open.

Tang Ye clearly saw the cold and piercing gaze of Gao Qidong inside the car.

Gao Qidong's trip was definitely to back up Ding Zhen.

He had previously intervened in the adjustment list for Section-level Cadres by conducting early township assessments and utilizing the local Government's false reporting of economic indicators...

He had indeed achieved his goal, but it had also resulted in aftereffects.

He had broken the unspoken rules of the game.

He would inevitably face a backlash.

To put it bluntly, if it were not for the full support of the Municipal Party Secretary,

relying on his own strength alone, he would likely have been drowned by the spit of those whose interests had been touched long ago.

However, Tang Ye did not feel regret.

Because he was doing the right thing.

On some trivial minor issues, he could turn a blind eye and compromise appropriately.

But on matters of principle concerning the vital interests of the common people and the overall situation of development, he would absolutely fight for every inch!
